My Creative Time Throwback Thursday

I love to play along with Emma at My Creative Time for her Throwback Thursday. She is an amazing designer and has just announced her 1st Gypsy DVD for presale!! I can't wait to see it!

This week, the challenge called for the Celebrations cartridge with a birthday theme. I always need birthday cards so this is perfect! All the cuts are from this cartridge. The scallop background is 4.5 inches square. Then, I tried something new and layered 3 presents with pop dots for dimension cut at 3 inches. I don't think you can see this on the picture though. I cut everything on my Gypsy so I was able to cut the tag apart from the ribbon 3.5 inches. This allowed me to use a My Pink Stamper Friends & Family greeting on the tag. I used some pretty pink ribbon and tied it like a bow on a present. I finished it off with some white Signo accents. The size of this card is 5 x 5 inches.

My name is Helen and I live in Georgia with my husband, two children and one spoiled dog. I have a full-time job that gets in the way of my creative time. My main crafty focus is on cards, but I love to make home decor items and I really need to catch up on my scrapbooking.
